Critical Authentication Bypass in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Exploited Since 2023

A critical authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-20127) in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN has been actively exploited in zero-day attacks since at least 2023. The flaw allows remote attackers to compromise controllers and add malicious rogue peers to targeted networks. The vulnerability stems from a peering authentication mechanism that does not work properly, enabling attackers to log in as high-privileged users and manipulate network configurations. Cisco has released specific software updates to address the issue, and CISA has issued an emergency directive requiring federal agencies to patch affected systems by February 27, 2026. Attackers have been found to leverage the built-in update mechanism to stage a software version downgrade and escalate to the root user by exploiting CVE-2022-20775, and have taken steps to clear evidence of the intrusion by purging logs and command history. Additionally, Cisco has flagged two more Catalyst SD-WAN Manager security flaws (CVE-2026-20128 and CVE-2026-20122) as actively exploited in the wild, urging administrators to upgrade vulnerable devices. CVE-2026-20128 is an information disclosure issue affecting the Data Collection Agent (DCA) feature, allowing an authenticated, local attacker to gain DCA user privileges. CVE-2026-20122 is an arbitrary file overwrite bug affecting the API, allowing a remote, authenticated attacker to overwrite arbitrary files and gain elevated privileges. Cisco Talos has linked the attacks exploiting CVE-2026-20127 to UAT-8616, a highly sophisticated threat actor active since at least 2023. Cisco has also released updates to address two maximum-severity vulnerabilities in its Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) software: CVE-2026-20079 and CVE-2026-20131.

Critical Ivanti Endpoint Manager XSS Flaw Disclosed

Ivanti has disclosed a critical stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2025-10573) in its Endpoint Manager (EPM) solution, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution with user interaction. The flaw affects versions prior to 2024 SU4 SR1 and is mitigated by the solution's typical offline deployment. Ivanti also patched three high-severity vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-13659, CVE-2025-13662) enabling arbitrary code execution under specific conditions. No exploitation has been observed, but Ivanti EPM flaws have been targeted before, including CISA-alerted vulnerabilities in March 2024.

Critical React Server Components (RSC) Bugs Enable Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution

A critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182, CVSS 10.0) in React Server Components (RSC) allows unauthenticated remote code execution due to unsafe deserialization of payloads. The flaw affects multiple versions of React and Next.js, potentially impacting any application using RSC. The issue has been patched, but 39% of cloud environments remain vulnerable. Cloudflare experienced a widespread outage due to an emergency patch for this vulnerability, and multiple China-linked hacking groups have begun exploiting it. NHS England National CSOC has warned of the likelihood of continued exploitation in the wild. Major companies such as Google Cloud, AWS, and Cloudflare immediately responded to the vulnerability. The security researcher Lachlan Davidson disclosed the vulnerability on November 29, 2025, to the Meta team. The flaw has been dubbed React2Shell, a nod to the Log4Shell vulnerability discovered in 2021. The US National Vulnerability Database (NVD) rejected CVE-2025-66478 as a duplicate of CVE-2025-55182. Exploitation success rate is reported to be nearly 100% in default configurations. React servers that use React Server Function endpoints are known to be vulnerable. The Next.js web application is also vulnerable in its default configuration. At the time of writing, it is unknown if active exploitation has occurred, but there have been some reports of observed exploitation activity as of December 5, 2026. OX Security warned that the flaw is now actively exploitable on December 5, around 10am GMT. Hacker maple3142 published a working PoC, and OX Security successfully verified it. JFrog identified fake proof-of-concepts (PoC) on GitHub, warning security teams to verify sources before testing. Cloudflare started investigating issues on December 5 at 08:56 UTC, and a fix was rolled out within half an hour, but by that time outages had been reported by several major internet services, including Zoom, LinkedIn, Coinbase, DoorDash, and Canva. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on December 6, 2025, following confirmed active exploitation. The vulnerability is tracked as React2Shell and is related to a remote code execution flaw in React Server Components (RSC). The flaw is due to insecure deserialization in the Flight protocol used by React to communicate between a server and client. The vulnerability affects versions 19.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0 of react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-parcel, and react-server-dom-turbopack. Patched versions of React are 19.0.1, 19.1.2, and 19.2.1. Downstream frameworks impacted include Next.js, React Router, Waku, Parcel, Vite, and RedwoodSDK. Amazon reported attack attempts from Chinese hacking groups like Earth Lamia and Jackpot Panda within hours of public disclosure. Coalition, Fastly, GreyNoise, VulnCheck, and Wiz reported seeing exploitation efforts targeting the flaw. Some attacks involved the deployment of cryptocurrency miners and the execution of "cheap math" PowerShell commands. Censys identified about 2.15 million instances of internet-facing services potentially affected by the vulnerability. Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 confirmed over 30 affected organizations across numerous sectors, with activity consistent with Chinese hacking group UNC5174. Security researcher Lachlan Davidson released multiple proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for the vulnerability. Another working PoC was published by a Taiwanese researcher with the GitHub handle maple3142. Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies have until December 26, 2025, to apply the necessary updates to secure their networks. Over 77,000 Internet-exposed IP addresses are vulnerable to the critical React2Shell remote code execution flaw (CVE-2025-55182). Researchers have confirmed that attackers have already compromised over 30 organizations across multiple sectors using the React2Shell flaw. Shadowserver detected 77,664 IP addresses vulnerable to the React2Shell flaw, with approximately 23,700 in the United States. GreyNoise recorded 181 distinct IP addresses attempting to exploit the flaw over the past 24 hours, with most of the traffic appearing automated. Attackers frequently begin with PowerShell commands that perform a basic math function to confirm the device is vulnerable to the remote code execution flaw. Once remote code execution was confirmed, attackers were seen executing base64-encoded PowerShell commands that download additional scripts directly into memory. One observed command executes a second-stage PowerShell script from the external site (23[.]235[.]188[.]3), which is used to disable AMSI to bypass endpoint security and deploy additional payloads. The PowerShell script observed by GreyNoise installs a Cobalt Strike beacon on the targeted device, giving threat actors a foothold on the network. Amazon AWS threat intelligence teams saw rapid exploitation hours after the disclosure of the React CVE-2025-55182 flaw, with infrastructure associated with China-linked APT hacking groups known as Earth Lamia and Jackpot Panda. Palo Alto Networks observed similar exploitation, attributing some of it to UNC5174, a Chinese state-sponsored threat actor believed to be tied to the Chinese Ministry of State Security. The deployed malware in these attacks includes Snowlight and Vshell, both commonly used by Chinese hacking groups for remote access, post-exploitation activity, and to move laterally through a compromised network. Earth Lamia is known for exploiting web application vulnerabilities to target organizations across Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Earth Lamia has historically targeted sectors across financial services, logistics, retail, IT companies, universities, and government organizations. Jackpot Panda primarily targets entities in East and Southeast Asia. The Shadowserver Foundation has identified over 77,000 vulnerable IPs following a scan of exposed HTTP services across a wide variety of exposed edge devices and other applications. Censys observed just over 2.15 million instances of internet-facing services that may be affected by this vulnerability, including exposed web services using React Server Components and exposed instances of frameworks such as Next.js, Waku, React Router, and RedwoodSDK. The bug is a pre-authentication remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability which exists in React Server Components versions 19.0.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0. React issued a security advisory with the relevant patches and updates on December 3. Any internet-accessible server running the affected React Server Components code should be assumed vulnerable until updated as a precaution. AWS observed that many threat actors are attempting to use public PoCs that don’t work in real-world scenarios. AWS noted that the use of these PoCs shows that threat actors prioritize rapid operationalization over thorough testing, attempting to exploit targets with any available tool. Using multiple PoCs to scan for vulnerable environments also gives threat actors a higher chance of identifying vulnerable configurations, even if the PoCs are non-functional. The availability of the PoCs also allows less sophisticated actors to participate in exploitation campaigns. Finally, AWS noted that even failed exploitation attempts create significant noise in logs, potentially masking more sophisticated attacks. The invalid PoCs can give developers a false sense of security when testing for React2Shell. The Shadowserver Foundation detected 28,964 IP addresses vulnerable to the React2Shell flaw as of December 7, 2025, down from 77,664 on December 5, with approximately 10,100 located in the U.S., 3,200 in Germany, and 1,690 in China. Huntress observed attackers targeting numerous organizations via CVE-2025-55182, with a focus on the construction and entertainment industries. The first recorded exploitation attempt on a Windows endpoint by Huntress dates back to December 4, 2025, when an unknown threat actor exploited a vulnerable instance of Next.js to drop a shell script, followed by commands to drop a cryptocurrency miner and a Linux backdoor. Attackers were observed launching discovery commands and attempting to download several payloads from a command-and-control (C2) server. Huntress identified a Linux backdoor called PeerBlight, a reverse proxy tunnel named CowTunnel, and a Go-based post-exploitation implant referred to as ZinFoq. PeerBlight shares code overlaps with two malware families RotaJakiro and Pink that came to light in 2021, installs a systemd service to ensure persistence, and masquerades as a "ksoftirqd" daemon process to evade detection. CowTunnel initiates an outbound connection to attacker-controlled Fast Reverse Proxy (FRP) servers, effectively bypassing firewalls that are configured to only monitor inbound connections. ZinFoq implements a post-exploitation framework with interactive shell, file operations, network pivoting, and timestomping capabilities. Huntress assessed that the threat actor is likely leveraging automated exploitation tooling, supported by the attempts to deploy Linux-specific payloads on Windows endpoints, indicating the automation does not differentiate between target operating systems. PeerBlight supports capabilities to establish communications with a hard-coded C2 server ("185.247.224[.]41:8443"), allowing it to upload/download/delete files, spawn a reverse shell, modify file permissions, run arbitrary binaries, and update itself. ZinFoq beacons out to its C2 server and is equipped to parse incoming instructions to run commands using "/bin/bash," enumerate directories, read or delete files, download more payloads from a specified URL, exfiltrate files and system information, start/stop SOCKS5 proxy, enable/disable TCP port forwarding, alter file access and modification times, and establish a reverse pseudo terminal (PTY) shell connection. ZinFoq takes steps to clear bash history and disguises itself as one of 44 legitimate Linux system services to conceal its presence. CISA has urged federal agencies to patch the React2Shell vulnerability by December 12, 2025, amid reports of widespread exploitation. The vulnerability has been exploited by multiple threat actors in various campaigns to engage in reconnaissance efforts and deliver a wide range of malware families. Wiz observed a "rapid wave of opportunistic exploitation" of the flaw, with a vast majority of the attacks targeting internet-facing Next.js applications and other containerized workloads running in Kubernetes and managed cloud services. Cloudflare reported that threat actors have conducted searches using internet-wide scanning and asset discovery platforms to find exposed systems running React and Next.js applications. Some of the reconnaissance efforts have excluded Chinese IP address spaces from their searches. The observed activity targeted government (.gov) websites, academic research institutions, and critical-infrastructure operators. Early scanning and exploitation attempts originated from IP addresses previously associated with Asia-affiliated threat clusters. Kaspersky recorded over 35,000 exploitation attempts on a single day on December 10, 2025, with the attackers first probing the system by running commands like whoami, before dropping cryptocurrency miners or botnet malware families like Mirai/Gafgyt variants and RondoDox. Security researcher Rakesh Krishnan discovered an open directory hosted on "154.61.77[.]105:8082" that includes a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit script for CVE-2025–55182 along with two other files: "domains.txt," which contains a list of 35,423 domains, and "next_target.txt," which contains a list of 596 URLs, including companies like Dia Browser, Starbucks, Porsche, and Lululemon. The Shadowserver Foundation reported more than 137,200 internet-exposed IP addresses running vulnerable code as of December 11, 2025, with over 88,900 instances located in the U.S., followed by Germany (10,900), France (5,500), and India (3,600). Google's threat intelligence team linked five more Chinese hacking groups to attacks exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability. The list of state-linked threat groups exploiting the flaw now also includes UNC6600, UNC6586, UNC6588, UNC6603, and UNC6595. GTIG researchers observed numerous discussions regarding CVE-2025-55182 in underground forums, including threads where threat actors shared links to scanning tools, proof-of-concept (PoC) code, and their experiences using these tools. GTIG also spotted Iranian threat actors targeting the flaw and financially motivated attackers deploying XMRig cryptocurrency mining software on unpatched systems. Shadowserver Internet watchdog group is currently tracking over 116,000 IP addresses vulnerable to React2Shell attacks, with over 80,000 in the United States. GreyNoise has observed over 670 IP addresses attempting to exploit the React2Shell remote code execution flaw over the past 24 hours, primarily originating from the United States, India, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Russia, Australia, the United Kingdom, and China. Threat actors are exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability to deliver malware families like KSwapDoor and ZnDoor. KSwapDoor is a professionally engineered remote access tool designed with stealth in mind, building an internal mesh network and using military-grade encryption. KSwapDoor impersonates a legitimate Linux kernel swap daemon to evade detection. ZnDoor is a remote access trojan that contacts threat actor-controlled infrastructure to receive and execute commands. ZnDoor supports commands such as shell, interactive_shell, explorer, explorer_cat, explorer_delete, explorer_upload, explorer_download, system, change_timefile, socket_quick_startstreams, start_in_port_forward, and stop_in_port. Google identified five China-nexus groups exploiting React2Shell to deliver various payloads, including MINOCAT, SNOWLIGHT, COMPOOD, HISONIC, and ANGRYREBEL. Microsoft reported that threat actors have used the flaw to run arbitrary commands, set up reverse shells, drop RMM tools, and modify authorized_keys files. Payloads delivered in these attacks include VShell, EtherRAT, SNOWLIGHT, ShadowPad, and XMRig. Threat actors used Cloudflare Tunnel endpoints to evade security defenses and conducted reconnaissance for lateral movement and credential theft. Credential harvesting targeted Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) endpoints for Azure, AWS, GCP, and Tencent Cloud. Threat actors deployed secret discovery tools such as TruffleHog and Gitleaks, along with custom scripts to extract various secrets. Beelzebub detailed a campaign exploiting Next.js flaws to extract credentials and sensitive data, including environment files, SSH keys, cloud credentials, and system files. The malware creates persistence, installs a SOCKS5 proxy, establishes a reverse shell, and installs a React scanner for further propagation. Operation PCPcat has breached an estimated 59,128 servers. The Shadowserver Foundation is tracking over 111,000 IP addresses vulnerable to React2Shell attacks, with over 77,800 instances in the U.S. GreyNoise observed 547 malicious IP addresses from the U.S., India, the U.K., Singapore, and the Netherlands partaking in exploitation efforts over the past 24 hours. The RondoDox botnet has been observed exploiting the critical React2Shell flaw (CVE-2025-55182) to infect vulnerable Next.js servers with malware and cryptominers. First documented by Fortinet in July 2025, RondoDox is a large-scale botnet that targets multiple n-day flaws in global attacks. In November, VulnCheck spotted new RondoDox variants that featured exploits for CVE-2025-24893, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the XWiki Platform. A new report from cybersecurity company CloudSEK notes that RondoDox started scanning for vulnerable Next.js servers on December 8 and began deploying botnet clients three days later. React2Shell is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that can be exploited via a single HTTP request and affects all frameworks that implement the React Server Components (RSC) 'Flight' protocol, including Next.js. The flaw has been leveraged by several threat actors to breach multiple organizations. North Korean hackers exploited React2Shell to deploy a new malware family named EtherRAT. As of December 30, the Shadowserver Foundation reports detecting over 94,000 internet-exposed assets vulnerable to React2Shell. CloudSEK says that RondoDox has passed through three distinct operational phases this year: Reconnaissance and vulnerability testing from March to April 2025, Automated web app exploitation from April to June 2025, Large-scale IoT botnet deployment from July to today. Regarding React2Shell, the researchers report that RondoDox has focused its exploitation around the flaw significantly lately, launching over 40 exploit attempts within six days in December. During this operational phase, the botnet conducts hourly IoT exploitation waves targeting Linksys, Wavlink, and other consumer and enterprise routers to enroll new bots. After probing potentially vulnerable servers, CloudSEK says that RoundDox started to deploy payloads that included a coinminer (/nuts/poop), a botnet loader and health checker (/nuts/bolts), and a variant of Mirai (/nuts/x86). The 'bolts' component removes competing botnet malware from the host, enforces persistence via /etc/crontab, and kills non-whitelisted processes every 45 seconds, the researchers say. CloudSEK provides a set of recommendations for companies to protect against this RondoDox activity, among them auditing and patching Next.js Server Actions, isolating IoT devices into dedicated virtual LANs, and monitoring for suspicious processes being executed.

High-Severity Vulnerabilities Patched in Ivanti Endpoint Manager and Zoom Clients

Ivanti and Zoom have released patches for multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in their products. Ivanti fixed three bugs in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EMP) that could lead to remote code execution and privilege escalation. Zoom patched three high-severity and six medium-severity flaws in its mobile and desktop clients, including issues leading to privilege escalation and information disclosure. No exploitation in the wild has been reported for any of these vulnerabilities.

Exploitation of Ivanti EPMM Vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-4427, CVE-2025-4428) Leads to Malware Deployment

Two malware strains were discovered in an organization's network after attackers exploited two zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM). The vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-4427 and CVE-2025-4428, allow for authentication bypass and remote code execution, respectively. Attackers used these flaws to gain access to the EPMM server, execute arbitrary code, and maintain persistence. The attack began around May 15, 2025, following the publication of a proof-of-concept exploit. The malware sets include loaders that enable arbitrary code execution and data exfiltration. The vulnerabilities affect Ivanti EPMM development branches 11.12.0.4, 12.3.0.1, 12.4.0.1, and 12.5.0.0 and their earlier releases. A China-nexus espionage group was leveraging the vulnerabilities since at least May 15, 2025. The threat actor targeted the /mifs/rs/api/v2/ endpoint with HTTP GET requests and used the ?format= parameter to send malicious remote commands. The malware sets include distinct loaders with the same name, and malicious listeners that allow injecting and running arbitrary code on the compromised system. The threat actor delivered the malware through separate HTTP GET requests in segmented, Base64-encoded chunks. Organizations are advised to update their EPMM instances, monitor for suspicious activity, and implement access restrictions to prevent unauthorized access to mobile device management systems. Ivanti has disclosed two additional critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340, which were exploited in zero-day attacks. These code-injection vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable devices without authentication. Ivanti has released RPM scripts to mitigate the vulnerabilities and advises applying them as soon as possible. The vulnerabilities will be permanently fixed in EPMM version 12.8.0.0, scheduled for release later in Q1 2026. CISA has added CVE-2026-1281 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation. The vulnerabilities affect EPMM versions 12.5.0.0 and prior, 12.6.0.0 and prior, and 12.7.0.0 and prior (Fixed in RPM 12.x.0.x), and EPMM 12.5.1.0 and prior and 12.6.1.0 and prior (Fixed in RPM 12.x.1.x). The RPM patch does not survive a version upgrade and must be reapplied if the appliance is upgraded to a new version. The vulnerabilities affect the In-House Application Distribution and the Android File Transfer Configuration features and do not affect other products, including Ivanti Neurons for MDM, Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM), or Ivanti Sentry. Successful exploitation of the EPMM appliance will enable arbitrary code execution on the appliance and allow lateral movement to the connected environment. EPMM contains sensitive information about devices managed by the appliance. Legitimate use of the capabilities will result in 200 HTTP response codes in the Apache Access Log, whereas successful or attempted exploitation will cause 404 HTTP response codes. Customers are advised to review EPMM administrators for new or recently changed administrators, authentication configuration, new push applications for mobile devices, configuration changes to applications, new or recently modified policies, and network configuration changes. In the event of compromise, users are advised to restore the EPMM device from a known good backup or build a replacement EPMM and then migrate data to the device. After restoring, users should reset the password of any local EPMM accounts, reset the password for the LDAP and/or KDC service accounts, revoke and replace the public certificate used for EPMM, and reset the password for any other internal or external service accounts configured with the EPMM solution. The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Council for the Judiciary confirmed that their systems were impacted by cyber attacks exploiting Ivanti EPMM vulnerabilities. Work-related data of AP employees, including names, business email addresses, and telephone numbers, were accessed by unauthorized persons. The European Commission identified traces of a cyber attack that may have resulted in access to names and mobile numbers of some of its staff members. Finland's state information and communications technology provider, Valtori, disclosed a breach that exposed work-related details of up to 50,000 government employees. The attacker gained access to information used in operating the service, including names, work email addresses, phone numbers, and device details. Investigations showed that the management system did not permanently delete removed data but only marked it as deleted, potentially compromising device and user data belonging to all organizations that have used the service during its lifecycle. The European Commission's central infrastructure managing mobile devices discovered signs of a breach on January 30, 2026, which may have resulted in access to staff names and mobile numbers. The Dutch justice and security secretary confirmed that the Council for the Judiciary (Rvdr) and the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) were breached, with unauthorized access to work-related data of AP employees, including names, business email addresses, and telephone numbers. Finnish government ICT center Valtori discovered a breach on January 30, 2026, affecting its mobile device management service, potentially exposing details of up to 50,000 government workers. Ivanti released patches for two critical (CVSS 9.8) zero-day bugs in EPMM on January 29, 2026, noting that a very limited number of customers had been exploited at the time of disclosure. CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340 are code injection flaws that could allow attackers to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution. A significant chunk of the exploitation attempts targeting a newly disclosed security flaw in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) can be traced back to a single IP address on bulletproof hosting infrastructure offered by PROSPERO. GreyNoise recorded 417 exploitation sessions from 8 unique source IP addresses between February 1 and 9, 2026, with 83% originating from 193.24.123[.]42. The same IP address exploited three other CVEs across unrelated software, indicating the use of automated tooling. 85% of the exploitation sessions beaconed home via DNS to confirm target exploitability without deploying malware or exfiltrating data. PROSPERO is linked to another autonomous system called Proton66, which has a history of distributing desktop and Android malware. Defused Cyber reported a "sleeper shell" campaign that deployed a dormant in-memory Java class loader to compromised EPMM instances, indicative of initial access broker tradecraft. Organizations are advised to apply patches, audit internet-facing MDM infrastructure, review DNS logs for OAST-pattern callbacks, monitor for the /mifs/403.jsp path on EPMM instances, and block PROSPERO's autonomous system (AS200593) at the network perimeter level. The European Commission's central infrastructure managing mobile devices was breached on January 30, 2026, resulting in the compromise of staff names and mobile numbers. Valtori, the public managed services provider for Finland's government, was breached on January 30, 2026, affecting around 50,000 individuals associated with the central government. The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Council for the Judiciary confirmed breaches on February 6, 2026, naming Ivanti EPMM as the culprit. Shadowserver tracked a voluminous wave of attempted attacks concentrated around February 9, 2026, with 83% of exploitation attempts traced to a single IP address on bulletproof hosting infrastructure offered by PROSPERO. The IP address linked to the exploitation attempts was still active as of February 12, 2026. Threat intelligence observations show that a single threat actor is responsible for most of the active exploitation of two critical vulnerabilities in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), tracked as CVE-2026-21962 and CVE-2026-24061. The security issues have been flagged as actively exploited in zero-day attacks in Ivanti's security advisory, where the company also announced hotfixes. Both flaws received a critical severity rating and allow an attacker to inject code without authentication, leading to remote code execution (RCE) on vulnerable systems. A single IP address hosted on bulletproof infrastructure is responsible for over 83% of exploitation activity related to the two vulnerabilities. Between February 1st and 9th, the monitoring platform observed 417 exploitation sessions originating from 8 unique source IP addresses, and centered on CVE-2026-21962 and CVE-2026-24061. The highest volume, 83%, comes from 193[.]24[.]123[.]42, hosted by PROSPERO OOO (AS200593), which Censys analysts marked as a bulletproof autonomous system used to target various software products. A sharp spike occurred on February 8, with 269 recorded sessions in a single day, almost 13 times the daily average of 22 sessions. Of the 417 exploitation sessions, 354 (85%) used OAST-style DNS callbacks to verify command execution capability, pointing to initial access broker activity. The PROSPERO OOO IP address is not limited to Ivanti targeting, as it simultaneously exploited three more vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-21962 in Oracle WebLogic, CVE-2026-24061 in GNU Inetutils Telnetd, and CVE-2025-24799 in GLPI. The Oracle WebLogic flaw had the lion’s share in session volumes, dwarfing the rest with 2,902 sessions, followed by the Telnetd issue with 497 sessions. Exploitation activity appears fully automated, rotating between three hundred user agents. Ivanti's fixes for CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340 are not permanent. The company promised to release complete patches in the first quarter of this year, with the release of EPMM version 12.8.0.0. Until then, it is recommended to use RPM packages 12.x.0.x for EPMM versions 12.5.0.x, 12.6.0.x, and 12.7.0.x, and RPM 12.x.1.x for EPMM versions 12.5.1.0 and 12.6.1.0.
